Puppy Care

Welcoming a New Puppy into Your Home

Welcoming a new puppy into your home can be a hard transition to get used to. At Wantagh Animal Hospital, we are here to help with anything that may come up—whether you need tips with training your puppy, or have questions regarding their behavior or age-related changes, you can count on us! At Wantagh Animal Hospital, our team of veterinarians will provide your puppy with everything he or she needs for his or her first few months of life with you!

A puppy’s immune system is still developing, which means that it is very important that he or she receives the necessary vaccines and preventative health treatment. At Wantagh Animal Hospital, our veterinarians create customized vaccination plans and preventative health treatment plans unique to your puppy—taking into account their breed, size, lifestyle and environment, and current health condition.

Wellness exams are very important to ensure that your puppy is developing properly, and that he or she maintains a course of good health. Wellness exams are a great opportunity to speak with your veterinarian about any questions or concerns you may have regarding your puppy’s health, dental care, nutrition and diet, age-related changes, training and behavior, and much more.

It is very important that you continue to feed your puppy the same food he or she was given at the shelter or pet store from which you adopted him or her. You and your veterinarian can speak about your puppy’s future nutritional and dietary needs during his or her first visit.
